Surnames: NELSON; ANDERSON; ERICKSON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZFC.2ACI/560 Message Board Post: Hi Douglas Co., WI Genealogists, I've found this Edwin Nelson, listed below, in an index of Wisconsin deaths between 1852 - 1907. This individual is in a county known to have been a residence of my Nelson family after the 'turn-of-the-century' if not earlier. Would anyone have this person, Edwin Dewey NELSON, in another ancestral line? I know my g-grandfather was named Edwin Nelson and he had left his wife Catherine a widow at the time of the 1900 US Census enumeration (in Hayward). Edwin's son Nels was in Eau Claire boarding with his sister Hannah Anderson, also a widow in 1900, w/dau. Amanda, Lillian and Hazel. Nels had another sister Martha, who is remembered as having married an Erickson. If anyone can share information on any of these individuals, I'd surely appreciate hearing from you! ---John Allinger <Jones_n_Allinger@hotmail.com> ----------------------------------------------- Microfilch #6331472 ----- sheet 7 of 28 NAME NELSON, EDWIN DEWEY Date of Death Aug 25, 1899 County Douglas Vol. 01 Page 0497 Reel 021 Image 2535 Seq No. 274699 -----------------------------------------------
